I have a Dell Dimension 8200 running WinMCE2002 sp2. I recently bought
a laptop and setup a wireless network using a USRobotics USB-Wireless
adapter on the Dell. I have had no trouble with this setup until I
plug the Dell into a wired network with my other PC's. As soon as I
connect the cable, the wireless link to the laptop drops and will not
reconnect until I unplug the cable. I have tried this with the Dell in
both bridged and non-bridged configurations. I know that MCE is
cripped by Microsoft so that it will not log into domains, but I'm only
using a workgroup so this shouldn't apply. I know that I could buy a
wireless router and get around the problem, but we only have dial-up in
this area and I can't justify the expense when this configuration
should work. I'm at my wits end with this. Anyone have any ideas?
